I worked at a call center for many years (until it got outsorced anyhow) 'cause the job market was horrid. Also, I have great ability to shrug of negetivity and also a really dark sense of humor. So I liked the prank calls. We did have coworked who'd cry at the drop of a hat, but people with fragile emotions just don't have the skils for dealing with the public. (just as people with fragile bodies don't have the skills for jobs with a lot of physical labor - etc).

But I must say, for all my resiliance, that job *wore me out*. I grew to dread even next day at work. At the end of the day, you were exhanusted in a way that I can only describe as 'in your soul.' Whether or not you believe in a soul is pointles.. you weren't physically or mentally tired ('casue the job took very liitle brain power), but dealing with negativity constantly, and all the time... well.. it just wore out something important within you after a while.

And this was a job dealing with inbound customer service. I can't imagine the toll outbound sales would take.

If you want to prank the caller, do so. if you want hang up do so. But dont just should obscenities or attack the person to relese the pent up frustration from your own life.

No whatever who you are, if everyone works and stopping the spread of negitivity (because it is infections), i think it'd make a huge difference.

the chick in the pink vette looks like a drag queen

LOL, i was about to give credit to The Amazing Jonathan too! :D

wouldn't it tear very easily?

anyhow.... "wipe the sweat and feces that has accumulated from sitting through the long boring procession."

FECES?! building up just sitting at a wedding?!!? Crikey, WTF?

Yeah... sarcasm is REAL important to survival.

:P

I cannot believe no one's made a "First rule of Babushka fight club" reference yet! :P

this is just boring and kind of annoying. I'm sorry to be a 'hater' here, but why should I care about him?

"I'm to smart to fit into society so I get social security".

Also, last time I checked, drinking fluids from a trashcan wasn't a typical 'scholar' trait. Neither is a highschool grasp of relativity.

yeah, i was gonna say, that is NOT a healthy skintone.

Plus, he's a little too old to be a 'beach bum' or whatever.

Then again, that's Florida for you. Ha! everything in that picture is so typcial Florida.

@ sam.

I noticed the same thing! It makes you think the guy's a tool.

Geometry = shapes! OMG eveything makes sense now!

Leather, Stone, and Wood for me too, and spot on! Anyonw who knows me or saw my apt would have to agree too. :P
Black, dark red, brown, gold, etc... (fall is my favorite season too... heh heh)

In Melbourne, FL, there was a Jamacian restuant called 'Jamacian Me Crazy'.

What is it about internet that causes people to get so angry?
I think it's somehow connected to road rage... there must be something in the human brain that allows anger to go unchecked when we are 'protected' from intimate retribution... like behind the armor of a car, the internet, and perhaps even a crowd of others (so perhaps mob violence can be included in this theory?)

I find it much harder to be angry / 'yell at' people in person, even if I'm justified in my anger. Hmmm

(And, pol x, i'm not saything thats the case with you. This whole situation just made me think about these things.)

neat!

Yes, the 5th element Opera kicked ass. (although I like a lot of these here.)

Also, if you wanted to include another 'modern' Opera, you could have included the Italian performance of "Aria Di' Mezzo Catarre", the Opera from the the game Final Fantasy 3 (known as #6 in Japan).

Also, I agree with jmp478. I wish huge, multi-entry posts were constrained to the first entry.

ALSO, I'm not a fan of Phillup Glass. He posters as Avant Garde, but it falls flat to me, an attept as transparent as his name. :P

Duck apnia is a serious matter!
